How do I contact the shelter about Tina?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APAGI handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tina if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APAGI will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Tina already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Tina isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with APAGI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tina and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Adopt Tina

Cane Corso · Female · Adult · 7 years

I am called Tina. I am a strong little girl, with a soft heart towards humans I know and a bit of a mischievous side, I admit. My life has not always been easy. My first humans used abuse to teach me to guard and "protect," which left me with sometimes excessive reactions. For several months at the shelter, thanks to sponsorship, my trainer and volunteers, I have been working actively to regain a calmer way of functioning: letting my human handle meetings. The progress is there, but some vigilance is still necessary. The family I ideally look for should not have other animals, should be experienced, fair, patient, gentle but firm in order to set a clear and safe framework. Why choose me, rather than another ball of fur? Because I am constantly in a good mood, often a bit of a clown, clean, calm inside, very affectionate, and always ready to play or go for a walk. So if you want to wake up and go to sleep with a smile and a wagging tail, come meet me, you will not be disappointed.

Read original (fr)

Je me prénomme Tina. Je suis une louloute puissante, au cœur tendre avec les humains que je connais et un brin chipie, je l’avoue. Ma vie n’a pas toujours été simple. Mes premiers humains ont eu recours à la maltraitance pour m’apprendre à garder et « protéger », ce qui m’a laissée avec des réactions parfois excessives. Depuis quelques mois au refuge, grâce au parrainage, mon éducateur et mes bénévoles, je travaille activement pour retrouver un fonctionnement plus serein : laisser mon humain gérer les rencontres. Les progrès sont bien là, mais une certaine vigilance reste nécessaire. La famille que je recherche dans l'idéal ne devra pas posséder d'autres animaux, devra être expérimentée, juste, patiente, douce mais ferme afin de poser un cadre clair et sécurisant. Pourquoi me choisir, moi, plutôt qu’une autre boule de poils ? Parce que je suis constamment de bonne humeur, souvent un peu clown, propre, calme à l’intérieur, très câline, et toujours partante pour jouer ou partir en balade. Alors si vous souhaitez vous lever et vous coucher avec le sourire et la patate, venez me rencontrer, vous ne serez pas déçu.

About Tina

What life with Tina looks like

Tina is a adult cane corso dog waiting at APAGI in Le Versoud.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.
